Hearing that Justin had woken up, Bella burst into tears. Her slender body slowly crouched down as she curled into a ball, trembling in the cold wind. "Ms. Bella..." Steven's eyes reddened as he watched her from the side. He felt like his heart was about to shatter.

Ever since Justin fell into a coma, Bella had been living in a daze. Each day felt like an eternity.

Though she was still alive, the vibrant young lady, once as radiant as a rose with her lively, spirited gaze, had disappeared.

Bella carried immense weight on her shoulders. She constantly blamed herself and battled inner turmoil for the incident.

She was awake, yet slipping into madness.

"My dear, why are you crying? Justin woke up! You should be happy!" Nigel's voice came through the phone as he comforted Bella. He could not help but worry about her, too. "My dear, are you outside in this cold weather?"

"Grandpa Nigel... I'm outside the hospital." Bella choked between sobs, warm tears flowing through her fingers.

Nigel was both shocked and concerned. "You're still outside the hospital at this hour? Silly girl, what if you catch a cold?!"

"Grandpa Nigel... I want to see Justin... But... I can't get in..."

"You silly girl. With me here, who would dare to stop you?" Nigel's voice was strong and reassuring, instantly calming Bella. "Matt and I are on our way to the hospital now. Anna, don't freeze out there. Go and wait inside. I'll back you up when I get there. We'll see who dares bully my dear Anna!"

...

Less than half an hour later, Nigel arrived at the hospital, seated in a wheelchair, with Matt pushing him. They quickly met up with Bella and Steven. Together, they rushed to the VIP ward.

Outside the door, the Salvador family's bodyguards stood on high alert, but with the Old Master present, who would dare stop them? Each one of the bodyguards bowed respectfully as they entered.

"Justin! My dear grandson!" Nigel could not wait any longer. With Matt's help, he staggered out of his wheelchair and rushed to Justin's bedside. As he looked at his pale grandson, whose once bright eyes now appeared dim and lifeless, Nigel could not hold back his tears.

"Justin, I'm so glad you woke up! That's all that matters!" Gregory heaved a long sigh of relief.

Although he did not shed any tears, the worry had been gnawing at him for days, leaving him sleepless and exhausted, with dark circles beneath his eyes.

"Y-Young Madam!"

After being absent for some time, lan spotted Bella hesitating at the door, too afraid to enter the room. His voice caught in his throat as he ran over, tears welling up. "Mr. Salvador has woken up! Please come in and see him!"

Before stepping into the room, Bella's heart had been pounding with the urgent desire to see Justin. She felt the longing would burst from her chest, shaking her to her core.

But now that she was here, an overwhelming weakness consumed her, leaving her unable to step forward.

She could not bring herself to face the Salvadors.

Their son had ended up in this condition because of her. Guilt and shame overwhelmed her. She felt utterly lost and had nowhere to hide.

"What do you mean by Young

Madam? We don't have one in the Salvador family!" Gregory roared, his finger pointing directly at lan's face. "lan! If +ever hear you call her Young Madam again, you're out of the Salvador Corporation! Fired, permanently! I don't care whose

favor you're trying to earn!"

Biting down hard on his lip, lan tasted blood as it trickled from his lip, swallowing his frustration.

He did not care about losing his job, his million-dollar salary, or the prestige of being the CEO's chief secretary.

Right now with the eldest son

suddenly back and Justin awakez though clearly in a weakened state, lan knew he had to stay by Justin's side. Even if it cost him his life, he could not leave his side!

"Gregory, I've had enough of your nonsense!" Nigel shouted.
